4.8-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Ralf Ramsauer <ralf@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 6a676fb69dcbf3310b9e462c1db66c8e7f6ead38 upstream. Instantiated I2C device nodes are marked with OF_POPULATE. This was introduced in 4f001fd30145a6. On unloading, loaded device nodes will of course be unmarked. The problem are nodes that fail during initialisation: If a node fails, it won't be unloaded and hence not be unmarked. If a I2C driver module is unloaded and reloaded, it will skip nodes that failed before. Skip device nodes that are already populated and mark them only in case of success.
